    My TV guide goes 2 weeks in advance, and it shows WhoBob WhatPants as having a 30 minute time slot, so it is NOT a TV movie. The DVD will be 74 minutes though. That's probably why most people thought it was a movie.

    Damn! Well, once again, Nickelodeon has Punk'd us. I bet they're doing it with iCarly's "iGo to Japan" as well.

    I told ya' you can't trust the episode by its DVD cover. If you think it's Nickelodeon's fault, it's the writers' fault! Do you think they can make a 74 minute long episode with originality? I don't think so. I was right, and some of us were wrong.

    I knew it wasn't gonna be a movie! It's like when everyone got so exited for "Pest of the West" when it was only 30 minutes long.

    Darn! I watched the commercial on LiveVideo and it did look like a TV Movie.

    I guess now it depends on how the episode itself turns out.

    Here's an more info about it:

    :
    BURBANK, Calif., Sept 24, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- When SpongeBob is struck with amnesia and drifts from Bikini Bottom, his friends fear that they've lost their pal forever, in an all-new, half-hour television special, SpongeBob SquarePants' "WhoBob WhatPants?," premiering Monday, Oct. 13, from 8:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. SpongeBob wanders the ocean, a stranger in his own pants, until he encounters the leader of the dangerous Bubble Poppin' Boys, voiced by Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), and accidentally becomes a hero. Prior to the special, Nickelodeon will present a four-hour SpongeBob SquarePants marathon from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT).

    Let's see the bright side, guys. Maybe if it were as long as some of you thought it was going to be it would have been like an over-stretched episode. I'm just a little disappointed that Nick will give us just a 4-hour marathon, I thought since it airs on Columbus Day they'd give us a full-day marathon, oh well. Still, I can't wait for this!!!

    I remember back when Atlantis Squarepantis was coming up there was a thread like this saying it was a 30-minute special, so don't give up hope.

    What? A 4 our marathon? That's not even a real marathon! That's only like 16 episodes if i'm correct! What a rip off! A 4 hour marathon plus a 30 minute episode! I was so psyched about it too! That really sucks. How did the writers manage to fit that whole plot into 30 minutes? I bet i'll be just as dumb as Pest of the West and Atlantis Squarepantis! Such a disappointment.

    I knew that it wasn't going to be a movie from the start. Do you have any idea of how long it would take to make a full length SpongeBob movie?

    prove that it will suck. all i'm saying is don't give up hope just because it is not as long as we thought it would be.

    You know, I was actually thinking about this, and I found out that: the story does not have enough potential to go on for an hour and a half!

    I mean, the SpongeBob crew could use my talented ideas and make it and hour or so, but seeing the commercial, there isn't enough plot.

    But I'm still excited to see it! C'mon, guys! We were really hoping for WhoBob WhatPants until this thread came along, so why do we lose hope? Just because it's a HALF AN HOUR? You guys saw what the crew could do with Atlantis Squarepantis, so shouldn't we be thankful that we actually get WhoBob WhatPants?

    But there's probably going to once again be Patchy segments, which would make the actual episode only 15-16 minutes.

    I don't think Pest Of The West would ever be a TV Movie. The plot was too short, but it was good.

    As for this, this looked like a proper TV Movie. And a good one. Even though they take longer, the bad writers could probably do it in 5 minutes. Although, I don't think they rushed the plot (just a guess), but I really do think that it'll be rushed into 22 minutes, especially with the Patchy segments, which should not be there. The Friend Or Foe ones were too painful to watch.
